Fashion Finds: Create Your Own Fendi Bag.

"Few bags launched in the last two decades have been more iconic than the Fendi Baguette. Introduced more than fifteen years ago, the slim style arrived on the scene just as the contemporary obsession for accessories was going into overdrive (the original Baguette fanatic, logically enough, was Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City). The Baguette has since been reworked with countless different materials and embellishments, but it’s getting an entirely different kind of update this week. Debuting exclusively here on Style.com, the new myBaguette app was created by Fendi to give users the chance to create their very own take on the classic design. Users can choose a selection of brushes and shapes and a rainbow of colors to mix and match. You can also upload your own photo and manipulate the image with a range of filters.

“The Baguette was created when I was asked to design an especially easy and functional handbag. The end result needed to be modern, a sign of the times, technological and minimal,” Silvia Venturini Fendi told Style.com. “However, my response was to do the exact opposite—something deceptively small yet simple. The Baguette has been an unprecedented success, re-created in over one thousand variations since its creation. Its clean shape can be treated with any kind of material and workmanship, so everyone can find the Baguette they feel is their very own.”"

Fendi called on artists such as Sylvie Fleury, Francesco Vezzoli, and André Saraiva to put their own spin on real-life Baguettes (above). Their creations are on view in the myBaguette Art Gallery. Users will also be able to upload their designs to the community gallery and social networks, where Silvia will hand-select her favorite every month. “I am so excited that this app brings the Baguette full circle, into the digital era, giving modern consumers the power to create their own digital version of the Baguette bag,” she said.

Of course, we had to try the app for ourselves here at the Style.com offices. We came up with a graphic black-and-white paint-splatter design, as well as a shocking-pink kaleidoscope pattern. Needless to say, putting your stamp on an icon gets a little addicting.

The Fendi myBaguette app will be available for free on the iTunes App Store and on Google Play starting June 10.

ADDICTION of The Day: Delphine Delafon's Bucket Bags.

French-American designer Delphine Delafon creates one-of-a-kind bucket bags. For Fall, Delafon is introducing her first seasonal collection, but until then, everything is made to order. Available in python, leather, or suede and garnished with fringes or studs, Delafon’s wares are supercute. And they’re a hit in Paris, where the designer is based. The Fall collection will be available at Barneys New York. But in the meantime, you can request your piece at delphinedelafon.com.

Addiction Of The Day: UNETUI.

I spy high-end designer clutches for the fashionista who always has to have a statement accessory.

This Fall UNETUI will be launching the world's first custom couture handbag.

Inspired by classic minaudières, UNETUI’s bags are handmade with a wide range of materials, including mother-of-pearl, stingray, exotic wood, Swarovski crystals, and semiprecious stones, to name a few. Each gold-framed case comes with interchangeable faceplates, jewellike clasps, and chain straps, so you can literally carry a leopard-print clutch one day and a malachite cross-body the next. Prices start at $685, and considering the endless options—there are thousands of potential combinations—we don’t think luxury shoppers will think twice about it.

If these amazing couture clutches are in your price range, GO FOR IT!

They are amazing, my favorite is the bottom right.

Which one is your favorite?

Campaign Ad: Michelle Williams x Louis Vuitton.

"Louis Vuitton has tapped Michelle Williams for a second time as the face of the brand's latest accessories campaign. The actress, who appeared in the label's fall ads last year, is back for spring, posing atop a bicycle, in a suitcase, and showing off, among other pieces, a new version of the Lockit bag, set to hit stores this July."

"In the ads, the 33-year-old star sports a tousled platinum 'do and matching lips and nails in gorgeous, bold pink hues. Shot by Peter Lindbergh and styled by Carine Roitfeld, Williams adopts her best "ain't no thang" attitude in the images, leaning up against a wall, and standing around barefoot in impeccable Louis Vuitton, like she does it on the regular. If this is what spring looks like, warm days can't come soon enough."

I think Michelle Williams is the perfect face for Louis Vuitton.

She has a chic sultry look, and he eyes are captivating!

Great job Michelle!

Handbags: Bentley.

Ladies, you ever wanted own a Bentley?

Well, now you can in a form of a handbag!

"There’s a new It bag in the luxury handbag market and you’re not going to be able to guess who makes it. No, not Prada, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, or any of the usual suspects; the fashionable elite around the world, especially in cities like New York and L.A., are busy snatching up bags from Bentley. Yes, Bentley, as in the iconic British car brand."

"The two styles, the Barnato (named after the glamorous Diana Barnato, who was the first British woman to break the sound barrier and the daughter to former Bentley CEO, Woolf Barnato) and the Continental, look luxe because they are made with the same level of craftsmanship that the cars are well known for. According to the brand’s head of product design Daniele Ceccomori, over 60 hours of work goes into every bag. (By comparison, it takes their artisans roughly four hours to make one of their hand-stitched steering wheels.)"

"The result of those intensive efforts is a bag that is equally, if not more, elegant the brand’s cars. “I simply recreated a car in a bag!” says Ceccomori.

The exterior silhouette replicates the horseshoe-shaped rear of a Bentley. But it’s the rich interior of the bags that’s the big highlight here. Ceccomori and his team have truly thought about everything a woman wants in her bag.

“The degree of complexity of the interior of these bags is far superior than the exterior,” he tells ELLE.com. "Quilted panels perfectly aligned to the profile, dedicated compartments for cards, keys, mobile phone, change, and a waterproof pouch for makeup (or a mini umbrella)—all details replicate the same architecture of the interior of the cars.”"

You won’t find these beauties in retail stores, however. To purchase (prices start at $5,500; bags are offered in a variety of colorways), visit bentleyhandbagcollection.com or contact your nearest Bentley dealer.

Exclusive Look.

Rag & Bone's Pilot Clutch will be up for purchase this week.

"We are really excited about the evolution of the Pilot handbag collection, said designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville.

"Our newest silhouette—the Pilot clutch—bears signature Pilot hardware, which gives an edgy, downtown feeling to what is traditionally a very feminine bag silhouette."

Take your pick of five shades, including blue, yellow, coral, black, and a perforated black-and-white combo, and then decide how you want to wear it: An adjustable strap turns it shoulder-friendly should your afternoon tasks require hands-free mobility.

It retails for $595–$655 and will be available at Rag & Bone stores and e-commerce on Thursday. Or you can snap it up for pre-order online here.
